Support for VirtualHere hardware and software

Multiple hubs - one seems bogus

Forums

On a machine named SPOOKY-PC

In the VirtualHere Client I see:

Windows Hub
- CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller
- CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (In use by Martin at SPOOKY-PC)
- Spooky A (In use by Martin at SPOOKY-PC)
- Spooky C
Windows Hub
- CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller
- CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (In use by you)
- Spooky A (In use by you)
- Spooky C

I'd post a picture but sadly this forum doesn't support them.

AutoFind is enabled.

Virtualhere client says device in use, but cannot actually use the device.

Forums

Hello,

Everything works as intended, but when I start testing the device on the client side it suddenly disappears. The client can list the hub and device, and shows that it is in use. However lsusb does not show it and I cannot interact with it. The issue resolves with re-plugging the device and it shows up again.

The test consists of sending a break signal to UART and then waiting for it to activate again repeatedly. The test works on a direct connection just fine. I cut out some of the urb messages from below, they seemed to appear when the test was running.

Username and password

Forums

Is there any way to ask from the client, for a username in combination with the password? The problem is that when using the Client ID that is a combination of the computer name and the logged user, it is possible that two users may have named their account with the same name. Am trying to write an authorization script for managing users and their permissions on accessing specific devices , and the Client ID is not very useful to me, because i would like for example a certain user to be able to use his account across different pc's, where the ClientID will be different.

Maximum Number of simultaneous devices connected to one client

Forums

Hey there,

is there a limitation for the maximum number of devices connected to one client at the same time?

I have a virtualhere server running on a raspberry pi b+. On each USB port of the pi there is a 4-port usb hub. One each port of this hub there is another 4-port usb hub. On this four hubs there are 15 usb to serial converters connected. All together ther are 60 usb to serial converters connected to the raspberry pi and 20 usb hubs.

User Manual?

Forums

Hi - is there a user guide?

I've read various sticky topics, and searched, but in particular I'd expect something written about theory of operation (e.g. how it modifies and interacts with standard USB configuration), limitations (do hubs make a difference), troubleshooting procedures (at the client and server end, e.g. increasing logging) and what the error messages mean.

Thanks, Martin

Lost data during serial communication with Arduino Uno

Forums

I have a sketch (I'll paste below) that I install on an ArduinoUno that simply reads 8 bytes over the serial connection, and then echos them back. I communicate to the Arduino via PuTTY. This works fine with a direct connection, but when connected over VirtualHere, I end up losing the first few bytes on the reply. It's not consistently the same number of bytes lost, but it's usually 1-4. After that, communication seems to work OK.
